Lord of the Rings Stuff

Journal Entry: Tue Dec 1, 2009, 10:42 AM
Long time no post! I usually don't post a lot unless I've saved up a few things I just have to share.

I got the Lord of the Rings books on my Kindle 2 and got so deep into it I wanted to make some cool art. So right now I'm working on a lot of LOTR related stuff for my own enjoyment and to keep up my skills and try new things. I'm working on a large map of Middle Earth based off the movie map and I'll add my own details and style (completely vector of course). It's going to take a while to do right so I'm just taking my time. I've also got some commemorative LOTR currency in the works too. I've spend a lot of time making intricate pattern brushes. Why I'm so fascinated with pattern bushes and pattern fills I don't know. Maybe it's because I like a challenge and believe me they can be very challenging.

Did I mention I got a Kindle 2? God I love this thing! I've probably read 30 books since I got it. It's so easy and fun to use. The latest firmware opens it up to any kind of PDF without having to convert to the kindle format. It still works best with Kindle formated books because they have a table of contents and links but a dumb PDF is still readable on it.

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did.

Your recent uploads brought you to mind as a person who might find these illustrator templates useful. [link]
No relation to the creator. I just think they rock! :)

Hey!

Glad to see that you've added more stuff - your artwork continues to be inspirational (as much as your designs useful).

Are more currency designs planned for the future?

Thanks. Yes, I'm working on some currency for a client. Nothing I can show yet. I didn't have any time to finish my Lord of the Ring side project. I might pick it up again some day.

Can you make Thracian currency?
Reply
:iconjerrydmills:
I think most Thracian currency is coinage not paper if I'm not mistaken. I haven't done any coins.
